SMITH ADAM
An Inquiry Into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations
London: A. Strahan and T. Cadell 1786. Fourth edition. Contemporary calf. Very Good. HANDSOME EIGHTEENTH-CENTURY EDITION OF THE "GREATEST CLASSIC OF MODERN ECONOMIC THOUGHT.". This classic work of the Scottish Enlightenment - originally published in the same year as the Declaration of Independence and Gibbon's History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire - is a magisterial study of the sources of national wealth and of the political and institutional arrangements that foster or suppress it. Based on a 2016 analysis of data from Google Scholar The Wealth of Nations is the second only to Marx's Das Kapital as the most-frequently cited among books in the social sciences published before 1950. And while Smith recognized the economic benefits that flow from voluntary transactions between individuals and is as a result sometimes thought of as the apostle of laissez faire capitalism he supported several forms of government intervention in the economy either to create and maintain the necessary conditions for economic growth or to ameliorate the incidental harms that such conditions could create.<br /> <br /> The Wealth of Nations proposed that "no society can surely be flourishing and happy of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity besides that they who feed cloath and lodge the whole body of the people should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed cloathed and lodged." WN this edition vol. 1 page 119. Smith believed that this condition of society could be achieved only through the higher productivity that is made possible by the division of labor. As an example of the division of labor Smith offered the example of the "trade of the pin-maker" which he apparently learned about from Diderot and d'Alembert's Encyclopédie in which "one man draws out the wire another straights it a third cuts it a fourth points it a fifth grinds it at the top for receiving the head ." and so forth. WN this edition vol. 1 pages 7-8.<br /> <br /> In a famous passage Smith explains that such arrangements arise naturally from voluntary transactions between individuals based on their common recognition of the benefits that division of labor creates:<br /> <br /> This division of labour from which so many advantages are derived is not originally the effect of any human wisdom which foresees and intends that general opulence to which it gives occasion. It is the necessary though very slow and gradual consequence of a certain propensity in human nature which has in view no such extensive utility; the propensity to truck barter and exchange one thing for another.<br /> <br /> . Man has almost constant occasion for the help of his brethren and it is in vain for him to expect it from their benevolence only. He will be more likely to prevail if he can interest their self-love in his favour and shew them that it is for their own advantage to do for him what he requires of them. Whoever offers to another a bargain of any kind proposes to do this. Give me that which I want and you shall have this which you want is the meaning of every such offer; and it is in this manner that we obtain from one another the far greater part of those good offices which we stand in need of. It is not from the benevolence of the butcher the brewer or the baker that we expect our dinner but from their regard to their own interest. We address ourselves not to their humanity but to their self-love and never talk to them of our own necessities but of their advantages. WN this edition vol. 1 pages 19-21.<br /> <br /> "Throughout the book Smith's 'system of natural liberty and justice' . plays a pervasive role as explanatory model and regulatory ideal though the famous image of an 'invisible hand' appears late and only once in the whole work . It appears at volume 3 page 181 of this edition. A quasi-Newtonian treatment is given to those forces which act like gravity when market price departs from natural price and it always carries with it a normative implication that policies or practices that prevent these forces from acting are detrimental to the public interest. Monopolies special privileges informal combinations by merchants or employers to raise prices and keep down wages import duties export bounties as well as institutions such as apprenticeships and restrictions on labour mobility . are all condemned from this perspective." Dictionary of National Biography.<br /> <br /> Smith was not unmindful of possible deleterious consequences of the division of labor: "The man whose whole life is spent in performing a few simple operations of which the effects too are perhaps always the same or very nearly the same has no occasion to exert his understanding or to exercise his invention in finding out expedients for removing difficulties which never occur. He naturally loses therefore the habit of such exertion and generally becomes as stupid and ignorant as it is possible for a human creature to become." WN this edition vol. 3 pages 182-83. Smith believed that public elementary education would compensate for this tendency.<br /> <br /> Edition: This copy of The Wealth of Nations is the fourth edition 1786 issued ten years after the first. It was the penultimate edition published during Smith's lifetime the last being the fifth edition of 1789. It carried forward the significant changes made in the third edition of 1784 without making any material additional changes of its own as Smith specifically admitted in the prefatory Advertisement to this edition. A detailed collation of the first five editions is provided in Edwin Cannan's 1904 edition of Smith's work.<br /> <br /> Provenance: With the armorial bookplate of Thomas Howitt bearing the motto "Aquila Non Capit Muscas" "Eagles do not catch flies" on the front pastedown of each volume. Howitt may have been the Lancaster physician of that name 1785-1832; see archives of the Royal College of Surgeons of England ref no. GB 0114 MS0092 the entry for Howitt's son also named Thomas Howitt. It is possible that Howitt's son Thomas Jr. 1830-1922 was responsible for the additions to these volumes described below.<br /> <br /> Volume 2 is bound with additional pages at the end on which a prior owner has pasted articles on the California gold rush of 1849 citing a discussion on page 354 of the volume in which Smith argues that "of all those expensive and uncertain projects however which bring bankruptcy upon the greater part of the people who engage in them there is none perhaps more perfectly ruinous than the search after new silver and gold mines." Another extract pasted at the beginning of volume 1 from an unknown source recommends the reduction of taxes.<br /> <br /> London: A. Strahan and T. Cadell 1786. Octavo contemporary full calf with elaborately gilt-decorated spines; vol 1 rebacked with original spine laid-down. Bound without half-titles. Vol 1 spine darker more toned than the other two. Light flaking to spines a little chipping to leather at extremities. Some foxing to title and first few leaves of each volume; otherwise text clean. A lovely early set of Smith's masterpiece. A. Strahan and T. Cadell unknown books

Smith Adam
An Inquiry into the Nature and Causes of the Wealth of Nations.
London: A. Strahan and T. Cadell 1799. Rare 18th century edition of Adam Smith's magnum opus and cornerstone of economic thought. Octavo 3 volumes. Bound in full contemporary tree calf gilt titles to the spine morocco spine labels. In very good condition. A very nice set of this classic work. Adam Smith's masterpiece first published in 1776 is the foundation of modern economic thought and remains the single most important account of the rise of and the principles behind modern capitalism. "The history of economic theory up to the end of the nineteenth century consists of two parts: the mercantilist phase which was based not so much on a doctrine as on a system of practice which grew out of social conditions; and the second phase which saw the development of the theory that the individual had the right to be unimpeded in the exercise of economic activity. While it cannot be said that Smith invented the latter theory.his work is the first major expression of it. He begins with the thought that labour is the source from which a nation derives what is necessary to it. The improvement of the division of labour is the measure of productivity and in it lies the human propensity to barter and exchange.Labour represents the three essential elements-wages profit and rent-and these three also constitute income. From the working of the economy Smith passes to its matter -'stock'- which encompasses all that man owns either for his own consumption or for the return which it brings him. The Wealth of Nations ends with a history of economic development a definitive onslaught on the mercantile system and some prophetic speculations on the limits of economic control.The Wealth of Nations is not a system but as a provisional analysis it is complete convincing. The certainty of its criticism and its grasp of human nature have made it the first and greatest classic of modern economic thought" PMM. A. Strahan and T. Cadell unknown books

Adam Smith 1723-1790 spent ten years in the writing and perfecting of The Wealth of Nations. ìThe book succeeded at once and the first edition was exhausted in six months.Whether it be true or not as Buckle said that the ëWealth of Nationsà was ëin its ultimate results probably the most important that had ever been writtenÃ.it is probable that no book can be mentioned which so rapidly became an authority both with statesmen and philosophersî D.N.B. ìThe history of economic theory up to the end of the nineteenth century consists of two parts: the mercantilist phase which was based not so much on a doctrine as on a system of practice which grew out of social conditions; and the second phase which saw the development of the theory that the individual had the right to be unimpeded in the exercise of economic activity. While it cannot be said that Smith invented the latter theory . . . his work is the first major expression of it. He begins with the thought that labour is the source from which a nation derives what is necessary to it. The improvement of the division of labour is the measure of productivity and in it lies the human propensity to barter and exchange . . . From the working of the economy Smith passes to its matter -- ëstockà -- which compasses all that man owns either for his own consumption or for the return which it brings him. The Wealth of Nations ends with a history of economic development a definitive onslaught on the mercantile system and some prophetic speculations on the limits of economic control . . . The certainty of its criticism and its grasp of human nature have made it the first and greatest classic of modern economic thoughtî Printing and the Mind of Man. Einaudi. Goldsmiths' 15565.

Smith Adam
The Theory of Moral Sentiments.
Edinburgh: Printed for Bell and Bradfute W. Laing and Mundell Doig & Stevenson 1808. Rare example Adam Smith's first book bound in the original boards. Octavo 2 volumes bound in original boards edges uncut. In near fine condition contemporary name to the title pages. Scarce in the original boards. Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments his first book is "one of the truly outstanding books in the intellectual history of the world" Amartya Sen. First published in 1759 it laid the foundation for Wealth of Nations and proposed the theory repeated in the later work: that self-seeking men are often "led by an invisible hand. without knowing it without intending it to advance the interest of the society." "The fruit of his Glasgow years. Moral Sentiments would be enough to assure the author a respected place among Scottish moral philosophers and Smith himself ranked it above the Wealth of Nations. Its central idea is the concept closely related to conscience of the impartial spectator who helps man to distinguish right from wrong. For the same purpose Immanuel Kant invented the categorical imperative and Sigmund Freud the superego" Niehans 62. Basing moral sentiment on "the power one man has of putting himself in the place of another" in contrast to Hume's idea of self-interest "Smith was henceforth recognized as one of the first authors of the day" DNB. With Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations Smith created "not merely a treatise on moral philosophy and a treatise on economics but a complete moral and political philosophy in which the two elements of history and theory were to be closely conjoined" Palgrave III:412-13. To Smith when man pursues "his own private interests the original and selfish sentiments of Moral Sentiments he will in the economic realm choose those endeavors which will best serve society. Herein lies the connection between the two great works which make them the work of a single and largely consistent theorist" Paul "Adam Smith" 293. In his Theory of Moral Sentiments Smith develops an ethics based on a "unifying principle--in this case of sympathy--which would shed light on the harmonious and beneficial order of the moral world. As such it was of considerable interest to Smith's contemporaries who were groping for an ethics that would flow from man's impulses or sentiments rather than from his reason from 'innate ideas' or from theological precepts. If Smith had written only The Theory of Moral Sentiments he would enjoy in the philosophers hall of fame a niche not unlike that reserved for Shaftesbury or Hutcheson." Both Moral Sentiments and Wealth of Nations reflect Smith's "attempt to anchor the new science of political economy in a Newtonian universe mechanical albeit harmonious and beneficial in which society is shown to benefit from the unintended consequences of the pursuit of individual self-interest. There is thus a considerable affinity between the structure of The Theory of Moral Sentiments and that of The Wealth of Nations. Each work is integrated by a great unifying principle. What sympathy accomplishes in the moral world self-interest does in the economic one. Either principle in its respective realm is shown to produce a harmony such as the one that characterizes Newton's order of nature. Smith's ethics is one of self-command or self-reliance just as is his laissez faire economics. Smith's ethics and his economics are integrated by the same principle of self-command or self-reliance which manifests itself in economics in laissez faire" Spiegel Growth of Economic Thought 229-231.

Smith Adam
Théorie des sentimens moraux ou essai analytique sur les principes des jugemens que portent naturellement les hommes d'abord sur les actions des autres et ensuite sur leurs propres actions: suivi d'une dissertation sur l'origine des langues . Traduit de l'anglais sur la septième et dernière édition par S. Grouchy Ve. Condorcet. Elle y a joint huit lettres sur la sympathie
Paris: F. Buisson 1798. 2 volumes 8vo pp. viii 466; 4 51 1; sporadic foxing; pencil notes in the top margins of C6v and C7r in volume I and K5r in volume II; paper flaw in C4 of the second volume affecting 4 or 5 letters; F1 in volume II with blank corner torn no loss and the second A gathering in volume II substantially toned; all else quite nice in contemporary brown calf-backed marbled boards with vellum tips; smooth gilt-decorated spine laid out in three compartments gilt-lettered direct in 1; very pretty marbled edges green silk bookmarkers; near fine. There's a wonderful abstract of an article on line compliments of Laurie Breban and Jean Dellemotte at the Sorbonne which "aims at providing a critical analysis of Sophie de Grouchy's translation and commentary of Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments . This paper focuses on Sophie de Grouchy's translation of the Theory of Moral Sentiments 1759 published in 1798." At that time her translation was not the first attempt to spread Adam Smith's moral philosophy in France. However the two previous translations did not succeed there. The first one from Marc-Antoine Eidous and entitled Metaphysique des moeurs 1764 was unanimously criticized because of its bad quality. Smith himself looked at it as responsible for the bad reception of his work across the Channel. As for the second translation 1774-75 from Jean-Louis Blavet it seems to have been poorly disseminated. This contrasts with the reputation of Grouchy's translation which was praised from the very moment of its publication for its accurateness with respect to the original text. The success was such that it has been viewed for two centuries as the definite French translation of the Theory of Moral Sentiments. And Grouchy is even sometimes considered as "Smith's best-known contemporary translator." <br/><br/> F. Buisson hardcover books
